2Chronicles:24:17-27
vw@2Chronicles:24:17 @ And after the death of Jehoiada the rulers of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king gave heed to them.
vw@2Chronicles:24:18 @ And they forsook the house of Jehovah the God of their fathers, and served the groves and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.
vw@2Chronicles:24:19 @ And He sent prophets to them, to bring them back to Jehovah; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.
vw@2Chronicles:24:20 @ And the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, Thus says God: Why do you transgress the commandments of Jehovah, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken Jehovah, He also has forsaken you.
vw@2Chronicles:24:21 @ So they conspired against him, and at the command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of Jehovah.
vw@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, May Jehovah take notice, and require it!
vw@2Chronicles:24:23 @ So it happened at the turning of the year that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the rulers of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoils to the king of Damascus.
vw@2Chronicles:24:24 @ For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; but Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers. Thus they executed judgment against Joash.
vw@2Chronicles:24:25 @ And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.
vw@2Chronicles:24:26 @ These are the ones who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
vw@2Chronicles:24:27 @ Now concerning his sons, and the great many tributes to him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the midrash of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
